ACTIVITY_CREATE is not a "result". It is an identifier indicating which startActivityForResult() call is associated with the onActivityResult() callback. That is why the parameter is called requestCode in the API documentation. The called activity can call setResult() to supply the resultCode provided to onActivityResult(). > What if the 'activity being launcher' has a 'okay' and a 'cancel' > button.
